Out of Comfort Zone

Hi lovely

Welcome to my Weekly Inspirational Wednesday blog. Every week I will post a card with basic instructions that you are welcome to CASE (copy and selectively edit).

I have a couple of male friends birthdays coming up in May and making cards for them really takes me out of my comfort zone. For one I find they don't appreciate them, well some do and two I find it really hard to keep them plain, no bling or ribbon. I did a Pinterest search and found a couple that gave me some inspiration. My first one is below, I will share the other one on my next blog. To add a touch of difference to this card I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green ink then embossed it in Clear Embossing Powder mixed with Dazzling Diamond Glitter. This added some bling without being too girly. I was happy with the finished card and look forward to giving it to my friend to celebrate his birthday.

CARD RECIPE

1. Card Base of Night of Navy is 10.5 x 29.7cms. Scored at   15cm, burnish with bone folder. Create a portrait fold

2. Garden Green panel is 14.4 x 10cm and embossed in

Tufted 3D Embossing folder.

3. Two panels: Night of Navy 10.5 x 6cm and Country Club

Designer Series Paper 10 x 5.5cm. Adhere together with a

border and then adhere to the Garden Green panel.

As soon as you have inked it up, sprinkle a mixture of clear embossing powder and Dazzling Diamond Glitter over it and then heat set. Punch out with Tailored Tag punch. Adhere with dimensonals on card overlapping the small panels and embossed one.
